I flipped back to a post of Boomer’s from a few weeks ago for some statistical proof on how awful Manumaluwhateverhisnameis was and realized Spaeth is also on the wrong side of that list as the 4th worst pass blocking tight end. Apparently the profile Jerry is shooting for is one that will set the season record for sacks allowed.

@flowermike The Samuel pickup is a desire within the constraint of what still needs to be done on the OL… near every guy I thought to be a target has been signed with their original team or another. Who is still a realistic option at this point in time?

Not to suggest we keep cherry-picking Dallas cuts, but Leonard Davis may be an affordable and competent veteran pickup.

I think the Bears should toss a number at Philly – no harm to test the market for a game changer.

I take it back, I’m not speechless. I was just dumbfounded and couldn’t decide which one of the idiots was dumber. Then I figured with his total body of work; Angelo leaves Olsen in the dust.

@austichi Wikipedia is already updated, so it must be true! As much as I would love to see Samuel in Chicago I have a feeling the asking price will be a bit too high.

@austichi Asante Samuel? Day dream believing, yes?

spend the money on the offensive line before it’s too late.

Maybe Chicago should institute a city wide mantra….. “Keep Jay Upright”

There is talk on twitter of the Bears having signed Anthony Hargrove of the Saints… they’re fairly upset. Positive move by JA if true. Defense will be stout this year – would still like to make a run at Asante Samuel on that side of the ball.

Sorry for all the grammar errors and spelling stuff, you guys know what I meant.

I’m so livid, I can’t type.

Rob, they’re scratching for scapegoats….

They hired the only O coordinator who would take the job. A coordinator who runs a system completely opposite of the company line. Now with who knows how much time left with said coordinator, they’re making roster moves based on a premise that can’t work. Why?

Because they can’t block long enough for Jay to throw.

Yes Rob, it’s that simple. We invested 2 first round picks on a potentially great qb and have given him NO protection and now, fewer targets.

Unless the Dallas reclamation project suddenly blossoms. But you still have to block.

Olsen had strengths that this staff could never game plan. Everyone loses. Again.

That’s the rub about these reclamation projects…. we can develop our own guys, how do we expect retreads to develop themselves?

We should have fired the entire organization when we knew there was going to be a lock out. Perfect time for new bodies to assess the team and get a new program going.

Now and Old Defense will prop up a struggling offense and Jay is still running for his life.

But Jerry Saved Virginia money…. his only priority.
